A skateboard comprises a deck including a first layer formed of synthetic material, a second layer formed of synthetic material and substantially coplanar with the first layer, and a middle layer substantially coplanar with and coupled between the first layer and the second layer. The middle layer is formed of synthetic material defining an elongated opening extending lengthwise from a front portion of the deck to a rear portion of the deck. An elongated member is formed of spring steel extending lengthwise within the elongated opening and spaced from at least one surface thereof to allow relative movement between the elongated member and the elongated opening. A truck assembly includes a baseplate coupled to the second layer and having a pivot arm hole, a first kingpin hole and a spring holder. The truck assembly further includes an axle housing having a second kingpin hole, a first and second end.
